BE at UTA. Bioengineering studies at UTA began in 1974 with a program in
biomedical engineering conducted jointly with the University of
Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) in Dallas – one of the top
medical schools in the nation and only 22 miles (35 minutes) away.

Optical Medical Imaging Lab

The Bill and Rita Clements Advanced Medical Imaging Building features 18 specially-designed bays for clinical and research imaging
devices. The largest of these houses one of the nation’s first 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging devices for human studies. The Medical
Imaging Center’s state-of-the-art equipment will provide a catalyst to major collaborative projects involving UT Arlington and UT Dallas
and UT Southwestern faculty members and clinicians who will occupy offices and laboratories in the building.
